- Snow totals of 6–12 inches are forecast for northern North Dakota and northern Minnesota, with locally up to 18 inches in Minnesota’s Arrowhead and gusts above 40 mph reducing visibility to near zero in spots.

- Argentina’s meteorological service signals a Thursday cool‑down with shower chances in Buenos Aires and keeps a yellow storm alert for parts of Córdoba, citing lightning, hail, strong gusts and heavy rainfall.
- Mexico’s national forecast calls for clear to partly cloudy, warm afternoons in Mexico City as Cold Front No. 35 impacts the north and a new front enters the northwest, while AEMET‑based guidance for Galicia, Spain, points to widespread rain and strong gusts approaching 70–75 km/h today.
